Sexual Harassment

Sexual harassment is defined as unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors or other physical and expressive behavior of a sexual nature. Such harassment can be verbal, non-verbal, or physical. Sexually harassing behavior that causes an intimidating, offensive, or hostile work environment, should be reported immediately to your supervisor, department head, or to the Office of Equal Employment (OEO).

Sexual harassment is a form of discrimination and will not be tolerated by the Citadel. You should be aware that substantiated incidents of sexual harassment will result in serious disciplinary action, up to and including dismissal. In addition to college sanctions, people who engage in sexual harassment may be subject to civil or criminal action.

If you have questions about the Citadel's Sexual Harassment Policy and Procedures (memorandum number 20), about options for responding to sexual harassment, or about the confidentiality and resolution of complaints, call the Office of Equal Opportunity in Human Resources, at 952-5252.
